FS650E Low voltage

Hi mate, the lights dont work straight off the battery like a conventional bike with a battery, guess they work off the stator. Not sure about indicators as i dont have any - they must be wired to a permanant 12volt off the battery.

Thats all the help i can give really, not totally sure about the electrickery in these bikes regarding the 3 volt thing.

Somebody wiser shall be along shortly...

Deffo 12 volt.

The lights arent the brightest anyway, theyre nothin like road bikes

Front bulb is 12v 60/55 watt,

My back one isnt standard

Id be thinkin you should be gettin 12v, theres some really good leccy guys on here.
Give em some time an they'll answer ya question better than me

Have you had a look in 'the doc'? Its on the left of the screen somewhere.

Ive got it printed but its got the 04. Anyway, theres different results for each grnerator wire tested and with different units connected. Some readings are 6 volts, some 4 volts, some 35 volts an some 210!!!

What you getting at the battery with engine running?

Its worth lookin in the doc though, i dont understand this testin lark

Yeah, thats about right for the battery.

The owners doc, look at top right hand side of home screen.

Thought somebody mighta responded by now. They might still have chrimbo hangovers :roll:

Also, if you go to www.ccmmad.co.uk you can download the 04 manual in pdf format. Have a look around, its in downloads section somewhere.

Not sure if its on here.

I know its ghe 04 one but it should be the same

sounds like a strange problem, have you checked all the connectors/wiring on the ignition switch and around headlight for being loose/corroded/broken/etc? i would double check the ground circuits too..are you sure the headlights are supposed to come on when the bike is off like twisted nuts said the signals could have been an add on and wired seperatly? what model 650 is this? fe? are you still getting 3.5 volts off the new stator? really would have thought it should have been higher too? yours bikes totally different then mine so i am sorry i couldnt be of more help

Hi just been trying to get a 2003 motor into a 2004 frame with a conversion of the eletrics so heres what I know.

The stator on a 2004 and later (I hope) models has DC output and an AC output.

The DC output is the red and yellow wires found in many spots on the bike and the earth is usually the brown wires and the brown wires are earthed to the frame on the coil mounts under the tank. The red and yellow wires are connected directly to the poitive on the batery so at any point compared to the earth you'll receive whatever volts the battery is at at the time. The blinkers are connected directly to this system (so is the horn) so these will always run off whatever power the battery has at any time.

The Stator also has AC output and this is used to run the headlights and tailghts. The AC from the stator hooks into the twin yellow wire (flat blade connector) in the master harness close to the carby and the single white wire very close by. So lights no worky when engine is not running!

As for what this should read and how to read it I am not certain but it might be a simple problem that the headlight globe is drawing too much current. To check pull the headlight globe and run the bike and look at the tail light globe it should be considerably brighter. As the stator can only produce so many watts it may be the case that you need to drop in wattage to make the headlight work acceptably.

I hope thats helped

Regards,

Anthony

Im guessing a globe is a bulb?

Ive had a bit of an idea oro. Is it possible to follow the loom back and check the output at a different section. Maybe knackered wires somewhere
